Monterrey welcomes Tijuana to this second leg of the Copa MX Apertura - Semi-finals. It's time to find a winner and both teams know what is needed.
There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a Liga MX match only four days ago. Thankfully the previous game, versus Cruz Azul, was also a home game here at Estadio BBVA Bancomer. The away team is better rested.
This stadium uses grass, unlike Tijuana's home stadium. The visitors last 38 games on grass have ended in 8 wins, 4 draws and 26 losses.
Monterrey form and stats
Monterrey have played 8 Liga MX games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 4-3-1 (wins-draws-losses). This match is a Copa MX match, and the hometeam has the total statistics 9 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss in this competition. The team is doing great wherever they are playing as Monterrey has won four games in a row. The Tigres UANL match was the last time out without a victory. Two home wins in a row for Monterrey bring valid hopes of a third.
Monterrey's last game was hosting Cruz Azul and winning 1-0. Before that match, a Liga MX win away at Mazatlan.
There will be little rest for Monterrey after this match as they are travelling to Guadalajara for a Liga MX game in only three days.
Monterrey have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at Estadio BBVA Bancomer with 13 goals in 8 league matches. 9 goals have been conceded. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 0 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.
Tijuana form and stats
Last season their Copa MX adventure ended in the clausura - semi-finals.There's been little loot from Tijuana's travels as they have only collected 0 points from 7 away games in the Liga MX. Tijuana only have 0 wins to counter their 7 defeats and 0 draws. Tijuana are still without points from their Liga MX away games. 7 games, 7 defeats. Total Copa MX statistics for Tijuana: 8 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses. The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Tijuana have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone twelve consecutive matches without winning on the road. The last time three points were secured away was the Guadalajara game. It's looking increasingly bleak for Tijuana who now has to deal with a four game losing streak. Guadalajara was the last time a defeat was avoided.
Tijuana aren't clicking offensively as they have gone 461 league minutes without a goal. G. Vazquez was the last player to find the net.
Tijuana might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Pachuca proved too strong as Tijuana slumped to a 0-2 defeat in front of their own fans at Estadio Caliente. Prior to that match, the Tijuana manager P. Guede Barriero faced defeat when travelling to Toluca and losing 0-2.
The schedule is very tough for Tijuana now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Liga MX game at Queretaro is waiting in only four days.
Goals are few and far between in Tijuana's away league games. Only 1 goal from 7 travels. It's worth mentioning that 5 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. For Tijuana, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.
